Research Infrastructure

All research centers are affiliated to IZTECH research director and IZTECH research director is vice president of research.

The Center for Materials Research (IZTECH-CMR) was established in December 2001 as a unit affiliated to the rectorate. The most important feature of the center is the analysis instruments required for advanced material characterization (scanning electron microscopes, atomic force microscopes, XRF, XRD, etc.).) gathering under one roof to serve all universities and industries.  Eurasia Advanced Research application and Research Center (AVILAR) is an international research, education and interaction Center, which continues activities on Izmır Institute of Technology and was founded in collaboration with the Abdus Salam-International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), which is located in UNESCO. The chairman of the scientific committee is of London Centre for nanotechnology Prof. Gabriel Aeppli. Again, the Nobel Prize in the scientific committee Prof. There are many known scientists in their fields, such as Klaus von Klitzing. The design, architecture and Urban Research application and Research Center (TAMIKAM) is active in 2015 in order to support the studies carried out in the disciplines related to the Institute’s Faculty of Architecture. The center has been planning the basins in Izmir province with the projects for the protection of urban historical environment since 2015. Environmental Development Application and Research Center (Environmental R&D) was established in December 2007. The main purpose of the center is to plan, design and implement the systems and components needed by the public institutions and organizations and the private sector together with the industry and to provide information and infrastructure support to graduate and undergraduate students in Environmental Research. In organic analysis, there are important analytical instruments such as liquid chromatograph-flying Mass Spectrometer (µlc/Q-TOF/MS), gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) and high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC). Geothermal Energy Research and Application Center (GEOMER) was established on May 11, 2005 within the scope of the project supported by the Ministry of development. The center provides measurement, analysis, project and consultancy services to the entire energy sector, especially with its existing laboratory facilities and portable devices and geothermal energy. With the project support provided by Izmir development agency at regional level, the center carried out the project in 2012 with the project “development of Gulbahçe geothermal resource” and the project on the exploration of geothermal resources in southeastern Anatolia by the Southeastern Anatolia Regional Development Administration in 2014. In Turkey, IZTECH is the only university in the campus area with geothermal fields. For this reason, a series of investigations (geological, geophysical, geochemical and hydrochemical) are being carried out to activate the geothermal field in campus area. Biotechnology and Bioengineering Application and Research Center (BIOMER) was established in 2011 with the project of the Ministry of development. The center provides infrastructure support for scientific projects in the fields of genomics, Industrial Biotechnology, Biomedical and Bioengineering, and master’s and doctoral studies. Computer Application and Research Center (IZTECH-BUAM) was established in 1994. Its aim is to improve the university information infrastructure, to encourage, develop and support Information research and applications. Mass Spectrometer Center was established with the project support provided by the Ministry of development in 2008-2009; it has two-dimensional liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer, high performance liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer and MALDI-TOF-Mass Spectrometer. The center provides analysis support to medical faculties, other university researchers and pharmaceutical companies. Applied Quantum Research Center (UKAM) was established within the scope of the project supported by the Ministry of development in 2009-2010. The center is the most equipped laboratory in the Aegean region in the field of experimental solid state physics and has a class 10,000 clean rooms, electron beam lithography, confocal Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet photoelectric spectroscopy (ups), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and scanning Auger microscopy (Sam) and other advanced research instruments. Composite Materials Research Center was launched in 2009 with the support of the Ministry of development project. Researchers are provided with analysis support both inside and outside the Institute and serve as research laboratories. Central composite materials have important devices for production and characterization.

There are 144 laboratories in the institute which have the technology to enable the execution of all kinds of research and education and which are created with internal budget facilities or external budget support. In addition, Infared and microelectronic Electronic Research Center (IRM) has been established within the Faculty of Science within the scope of buffer layer growth (GEDIZ) project signed between Aselsan and the Undersecretariat of Defense Industry and the Institute on November 23, 2012. The center has a class 1000 cleanroom and a Veeco GEN20MZ Molecular bundle epitaxial (MBE) device. This device is the only MBE device in Turkey. Irrim is a group of research and Development Studies ON Semiconductor nanotechnologies that detect infrared rays, and in general, thin film enlargements such as CdTe, CdZnTe and HgCdTe are performed before and after enlargements. With a protocol signed between the Izmir Chamber of Mechanical Engineers and the Institute, Energy Efficiency Training and application laboratory was established in 2010 aiming to raise energy managers. Again, a special-purpose IZTECH wireless laboratory was established within the scope of an EU project.
